MOJO SAFE SEX STREET TEAM
STREET OF LOVE
These intervention programs are defined by the location and nature of the prevention activities. They involve the participation of peer and non-peer activity leaders. Outreach interventions take place in the community environment and target people who otherwise may not receive HIV prevention messages. Conducting community outreach interventions involves taking prevention activities to neighborhoods, streets, bars, or any other place where the target community gets together. The outreach itself does not have to be a standard form of intervention, but a variety of interventions that share a set of techniques and characteristics. Community outreach does not impose a formal structure of activities on the target population because it occurs in the client's own terms. It is based on the face-to-face contact between the outreach worker and the community members. Some outreach interventions provide information, some provide counseling, and some provide both.
